Dennis Lindsey "scouting" in Europe

Hotttnickkk said:
I'm pretty sure Lindsey would want to lock up a coach well before the draft so the coach can have a say in who we draft. The history supports this - Ty had a huge say in the Trey Burke's decision. It's how Lindsey operates.


Plus - who better to "scout" Euroleague with than Messina? You kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

At this point, with a new coach, it's kind of irrelevant. Lindsay can draft who he wants and get a coach to fit the players.

Europe isn't a country, it's a continent. Messina may or may not be involved. Info is very vague.

I hope they are disguised as some scouts from the Lakers and convincing Hozenja to declare this year so we can snag him at 23.

Wiggins and Hozenja. Dreams.

**** Europe is a subcontinent of Eurasia it's as much a continent as India is.

I wouldn't say it's totally irrelevant. Messina by all accounts is one of the best basketball minds in Europe. Pretty sure Lindsey would have loved his input during the draft.

I didn't understand what you are trying to say. In Europe, it's being taught as one of the seven continents. Is it wrong?

True story: on my first business trip to Amsterdam, I flew alone, intending to meet up with colleagues who had flown before or would arrive later. I was worried about not being able to get around or make myself understood. First store I go into I timidly ask one of the clerks, "do you speak English?" With a slight air of scorn, he replies back, with a distinctly British accent, "of course I do." I told that story to a co-worker who was from The Netherlands. She explained to me that almost everyone speaks English there, especially in Amsterdam. And wherever I've traveled since (mostly western Europe), I've had no problem communicating.

And no, my business there had nothing to do with marijuana or the red light district.

Don't worry, your past post history makes it clear you would do nothing so interesting or fun.

They teach that here too. yes it is wrong. The only reason it get's to be a continent is because Europeans want it to be one. It's not. My evidence...

I see your point. So how many continents are there according to your thinking? Do you count Greenland as one? I kinda agree with you on the Europe but besides it's being a very stupid concern, I see there is quite arbitrary perception of the term "continent". If Europe is continent, then what is Greenland? If Greenland is just a large island then what are the other continents?

Though I don't understand what you mean with, "The only reason it get's to be a continent is because Europeans want it to be one." It sounds like, damn those stupid Europeans blah blah.. Why on the earth would a european want Europe to be a continent? I am hundred percent sure none of them, or to be more realistic, except an insignificant amount of them, would actually care..

Well I hope it beats Chinese for being the future's universal language, Chinese looks impossible to learn to me.

You're right.. Was my post offensive?

Noo.. not at all. It's the name of one of the books in the Bible, so if you're a Christian you would be very familiar with that, that's all. :)

Oh, actually now I listened how it's pronounced and it's not unfamiliar at all. In fact it's very very close to the word kilise which means church in Turkish and probably related to the very same word(from greek or latin I believe).

Plus it's probably as much as known amongst Muslims, because it's none other than what we call Zebur(also used for wider meaning for Psalms) in Turkish. (it's also in Quran)

PS.. Sorry for off-topic.
